112 West 139th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The five-story, 10-unit tenement building at 112 West 139th Street in Harlem, owned by Karim Hutson and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring heating and water-related issues over the past two years. Most notably, between November 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with three complaints specifically noting issues with the entire building and others citing problems in individual apartments.

While some of these complaints were resolved or determined not to violate housing laws upon inspection, there remains a concerning pattern of heating system reliability issues. Additionally, there have been two significant incidents of water leaks reported in late 2024, one of which was classified as an emergency situation. More recent complaints from January 2025 regarding heat and plaster issues were not able to be investigated due to access issues, with authorities recommending that new complaints be filed if problems persist.

The building's documented history also includes two smoking violations recorded by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2021-2022, which were indicated as being addressed. Most recently, a Local Law 188 compliance inspection conducted in January 2025 did not result in any violations being found. While some heating and maintenance issues have been resolved promptly, the recurring nature of the heat and water-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, though exact conditions as of July 2025 cannot be definitively determined based on available data.
